    Important: Whenever you install a system update that affects PostgreSQL or
17
        any of its dependencies, such as libc, you should restart the PostgreSQL
18
        server. Otherwise, you may get strange errors like "the database system
19 6820 aaronmk
        is in recovery mode" which go away upon reimport, or you may not be able
20 6821 aaronmk
        to access the database as the postgres superuser. This applies to both
21
        Linux and Mac OS X.

    Make sure there is at least 100GB of disk space on /: df -h
35
        The import schema is 75GB, and may use additional space for temp tables

Datasource setup:
119 4219 aaronmk
    Add a new datasource: make inputs/<datasrc>/add
120
        <datasrc> may not contain spaces, and should be abbreviated.
121
        If the datasource is a herbarium, <datasrc> should be the herbarium code
122
            as defined by the Index Herbariorum <http://sweetgum.nybg.org/ih/>
123 6366 aaronmk
    For MySQL inputs (exports and live DB connections):
124
        For .sql exports:
125
            Place the original .sql file in _src/ (*not* in _MySQL/)
126
            Create a database for the MySQL export in phpMyAdmin
127
            mysql -p database <inputs/<datasrc>/_src/export.sql
128
        mkdir inputs/<datasrc>/_MySQL/
129
        cp -p lib/MySQL.{data,schema}.sql.make inputs/<datasrc>/_MySQL/
130
        Edit _MySQL/*.make for the DB connection
131
            For a .sql export, use your local MySQL DB
132 6372 aaronmk
        Install the export according to Install the staging tables below
133 4218 aaronmk
    Add input data for each table present in the datasource:
134 6365 aaronmk
        For .sql exports, you must use the name of the table in the DB export
135
        For CSV files, you can use any name. It's recommended to use a table
136
            name from <https://projects.nceas.ucsb.edu/nceas/projects/bien/wiki/VegCSV#Suggested-table-names>
137 4264 aaronmk
        Note that if this table will be joined together with another table, its
138
            name must end in ".src"
139 4219 aaronmk
        make inputs/<datasrc>/<table>/add
140 4342 aaronmk
            Important: DO NOT just create an empty directory named <table>!
141
                This command also creates necessary subdirs, such as logs/.
142 6373 aaronmk
        If the table is in a .sql export: make inputs/<datasrc>/<table>/install
143
            Otherwise, place the CSV(s) for the table in
144 6370 aaronmk
            inputs/<datasrc>/<table>/ OR place a query joining other tables
145
            together in inputs/<datasrc>/<table>/create.sql
146 4212 aaronmk
        Important: When exporting relational databases to CSVs, you MUST ensure
147
            that embedded quotes are escaped by doubling them, *not* by
148
            preceding them with a "\" as is the default in phpMyAdmin
149 3612 aaronmk
        If there are multiple part files for a table, and the header is repeated
150
            in each part, make sure each header is EXACTLY the same.
151
             (If the headers are not the same, the CSV concatenation script
152
             assumes the part files don't have individual headers and treats the
153
             subsequent headers as data rows.)
154 4255 aaronmk
        Add <table> to inputs/<datasrc>/import_order.txt before other tables
155 4220 aaronmk
            that depend on it
156 3611 aaronmk
    Install the staging tables:
157 4219 aaronmk
        make inputs/<datasrc>/reinstall quiet=1 &
158
        To view progress: tail -f inputs/<datasrc>/<table>/logs/install.log.sql
159
        View the logs: tail -n +1 inputs/<datasrc>/*/logs/install.log.sql
160 3611 aaronmk
            tail provides a header line with the filename
161
            +1 starts at the first line, to show the whole file
162
        For every file with an error 'column "..." specified more than once':
163 4182 aaronmk
            Add a header override file "+header.<ext>" in <table>/:
164 3611 aaronmk
                Note: The leading "+" should sort it before the flat files.
165
                    "_" unfortunately sorts *after* capital letters in ASCII.
166
                Create a text file containing the header line of the flat files
167
                Add an ! at the beginning of the line
168
                    This signals cat_csv that this is a header override.
169
                For empty names, use their 0-based column # (by convention)
170
                For duplicate names, add a distinguishing suffix
171
                For long names that collided, rename them to <= 63 chars long
172
                Do NOT make readability changes in this step; that is what the
173
                    map spreadsheets (below) are for.
174
                Save
175
        If you made any changes, re-run the install command above
176 6015 aaronmk
    Auto-create the map spreadsheets: make inputs/<datasrc>/
177 3576 aaronmk
    Map each table's columns:
178 4125 aaronmk
        In each <table>/ subdir, for each "via map" map.csv:
179 3576 aaronmk
            Open the map in a spreadsheet editor
180 4125 aaronmk
            Open the "core map" /mappings/Veg+-VegBIEN.csv
181 3576 aaronmk
            In each row of the via map, set the right column to a value from the
182
                left column of the core map
183
            Save
184 4219 aaronmk
        Regenerate the derived maps: make inputs/<datasrc>/
185 3593 aaronmk
    Accept the test cases:
186 4219 aaronmk
        make inputs/<datasrc>/test
187 3593 aaronmk
            When prompted to "Accept new test output", enter y and press ENTER
188 3690 aaronmk
            If you instead get errors, do one of the following for each one:
189
            -   If the error was due to a bug, fix it
190
            -   Add a SQL function that filters or transforms the invalid data
191
            -   Make an empty mapping for the columns that produced the error.
192
                Put something in the Comments column of the map spreadsheet to
193
                prevent the automatic mapper from auto-removing the mapping.
194 3783 aaronmk
            When accepting tests, it's helpful to use WinMerge
195
                (see WinMerge setup below for configuration)
196 4476 aaronmk
        make inputs/<datasrc>/test by_col=1
197
            If you get errors this time, this always indicates a bug, usually in
198 6368 aaronmk
                the VegBIEN unique constraints or column-based import itself
199 5881 aaronmk
    Add newly-created files: make inputs/<datasrc>/add

    Refactoring tips:
253
        To rename a table:
254
            In vegbien.sql, do the following:
255
                Replace regexp (?<=_|\b)<old>(?=_|\b) with <new>
256
                    This is necessary because the table name is *everywhere*
257
                Search for <new>
258
                Manually change back any replacements inside comments
259
        To rename a column:
260
            Rename the column: ALTER TABLE <table> RENAME <old> TO <new>;
261
            Recreate any foreign key for the column, removing CONSTRAINT <name>
262
                This resets the foreign key name using the new column name
263 6320 aaronmk
    Creating a poster of the ERD:
264 6326 aaronmk
        Determine the poster size:
265 6320 aaronmk
            Measure the line height (from the bottom of one line to the bottom
266
                of another): 16.3cm/24 lines = 0.679cm
267
            Measure the height of the ERD: 35.4cm*2 = 70.8cm
268
            Zoom in as far as possible
269
            Measure the height of a capital letter: 3.5mm
270
            Measure the line height: 8.5mm
271
            Calculate the text's fraction of the line height: 3.5mm/8.5mm = 0.41
272
            Calculate the text height: 0.679cm*0.41 = 0.28cm
273
            Calculate the text height's fraction of the ERD height:
274
                0.28cm/70.8cm = 0.0040
275
            Measure the text height on the *VegBank* ERD poster: 5.5mm = 0.55cm
276
            Calculate the VegBIEN poster height to make the text the same size:
277
                0.55cm/0.0040 = 137.5cm H; *1in/2.54cm = 54.1in H
278
            The ERD aspect ratio is 11 in W x (2*8.5in H) = 11x17 portrait
279
            Calculate the VegBIEN poster width: 54.1in H*11W/17H = 35.0in W
280
            The minimum VegBIEN poster size is 35x54in portrait

            If the row-based and column-based imports produce different inserted
292
            row counts, this usually means that a table is underconstrained
293
            (the unique indexes don't cover all possible rows).
294
            This can occur if you didn't use COALESCE(field, null_value) around
295
            a nullable field in a unique index. See sql_gen.null_sentinels for
296
            the appropriate null value to use.
